Hello, it is not in the Biopython tutorial because it is out of scope,
I mean, the biopython tutorial asumes you have a working blast
installation.
I think you should join all your sequences in one file before running
formatdb (like *.pep > allfiles.txt). I asume that all pep files are
fasta files.
Best regards,
SB.
